Our White-Glove Cabinets Process for Wilmette Homeowners
From first call to final walkthrough — here's how we deliver cabinet installation & refinishing in Wilmette.
Kitchen Assessment
We evaluate your existing cabinets, discuss your aesthetic and functional goals, measure the space, and recommend the best approach — full replacement, refacing, painting, or a combination.
Material Selection & Quote
You choose door styles, finishes, hardware, and interior accessories. We provide a fixed-price quote with an itemized breakdown and a projected timeline.
Removal & Preparation
Existing doors, hardware, and — if replacing — full cabinet boxes are removed. Walls are repaired and prepped for the new installation or refacing application.
Installation & Finishing
New cabinets are shimmed, leveled, and fastened to studs. Refacing veneer is applied, doors are hung, hardware is installed, and all joints are caulked and finished.
Final Walkthrough
We demonstrate soft-close function, verify door alignment, ensure all organizers operate smoothly, and confirm that the finished result matches the approved design.

What North Shore Homeowners Say About Our Cabinets
“CrestLine completely transformed our outdated 1990s kitchen. New shaker cabinets, quartz countertops, and a stunning tile backsplash. The crew was meticulous about protecting our floors and cleaned up every single day. Couldn't be happier with the result.”
“I had a whole list of small jobs that had been bugging me for months — squeaky doors, a loose railing, caulking in the bathroom, and a shelf that needed mounting. CrestLine knocked them all out in one visit. So nice to have everything done!”
“We use CrestLine for seasonal home maintenance — checking windows, caulking, furnace filters, smoke detectors, etc. They're thorough and always find little things we'd miss. Peace of mind knowing our home is in good shape for winter.”
